BACKGROUND OF THE NEW CULTIVAR

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of lantana, botanically known as Lantana camara, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘UF-1011-2’.

Lantana camara is a member of Verbenaceae. Plants of this species attract numerous species of butterflies, tolerate harsh environmental conditions, have low maintenance requirements, and are easy to grow. Plants of L. camara are highly desirable for use in containers, hanging baskets, and landscapes. Commercial production of L. camara is widespread in the nursery industry, especially in the southern United States. This species has escaped cultivation through fruit/seed dispersal and has hybridized (as pollen donors) with Lantana depressa, a rare species native to Florida, resulting in its classification as a Category I invasive species in Florida (Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, 2015). There has been a strong need for the development of infertile cultivars in L. camara.

The new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ is a product of a planned breeding program in Balm, Fla. The primary objective of the breeding program is to create new infertile lantana cultivars with desirable plant stature, dense branching habits, and attractive flower colors.

The new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ originated from a planned cross between a proprietary breeding line CAOP-73 and cultivar ‘Landmark Flame Improved’ (‘Balandimfla’, an abandoned U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/015,489). The stated cross was made in fall 2010 in Balm, Fla. The new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ was discovered and selected in Balm, Fla. in April 2012 as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross.

Asexual propagation of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Balm, Fla. since 2012 has shown that the unique features of this new lantana are stable and reproduce true to type in successive generations.

Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar have not been applied for. The new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing of this application.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature, light intensity, fertilization, irrigation, and application of plant growth regulators without any change in genotype.

The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘UF-1011-2’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Lantana:

-   -   1. moderate plant vigor;     -   2. mounding growth habit;     -   3. dense branching;     -   4. round plant form and canopy;     -   5. yellow and magenta flowers;     -   6. little fruiting and no or few berries, little seed         production, and high level of female infertility;     -   7. low pollen stainability and high level of male infertility;         and     -   8. no to little hybridization potential with Lantana depressa.

Plants of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ differ from plants of the female parent in the following characteristics:

-   -   1. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ are triploids, while plants of CAOP-73         are tetraploids;     -   2. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ are mounding, while plants of CAOP-73         are more upright and erratic;     -   3. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ produce no or few fruit, no or few         seeds, and are highly female-infertile, while plants of CAOP-73         are more female-fertile and produce more fruit; and     -   4. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ have low pollen stainability or         viability, while plants of CAOP-73 have much higher pollen         stainability or viability.

Plants of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ differ from plants of the male parent, ‘Landmark Flame Improved’, in the following characteristics:

-   -   1. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ are triploids, while plants of         ‘Landmark Flame Improved’ are diploids;     -   2. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ are compact and mounding and have a         round form and canopy, while plants of ‘Landmark Flame Improved’         are much larger, spreading, and have an open canopy;     -   3. flowers of ‘UF-1011-2’ are yellow-colored when initially open         and turn magenta when matured, while flowers of ‘Landmark Flame         Improved’ are gold to orange;     -   4. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ produce no or few fruit or seeds and         are highly female-infertile, while plants of ‘Landmark Flame         Improved’ are female-fertile and produce more fruit and seeds;         and     -   5. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ have low pollen stainability or         viability, while plants of ‘Landmark Flame Improved’ have much         higher pollen stainability or viability.

Plants of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ can be compared to ‘Bandana® Cherry Sunrise’ (‘Bante Cheriasun’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,264). In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Balm, Fla., plants of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ differed from plants of ‘Bandana® Cherry Sunrise’ in the following characteristics:

-   -   1. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ are taller and wider than plants of         ‘Bandana® Cherry Sunrise’; and     -   2. plants of the new cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ have longer internodes         than plants of ‘Bandana® Cherry Sunrise’.

Plants of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ can be compared to ‘Landmark™ Sunrise Rose’ (‘Balandrosim’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,764). In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Balm, Fla., plants of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ differed from plants of ‘Landmark™ Sunrise Rose’ in the following characteristics:

-   -   1. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ have a more round form and canopy,         while plants of ‘Landmark™ Sunrise Rose’ have a more open canopy         with fewer lateral branches; and     -   2. plants of ‘UF-1011-2’ are fuller and shorter than plants of         ‘Landmark™ Sunrise Rose’.

COMPARISON WITH KNOWN CULTIVARS Assessment of Female Fertility

Table 1 shows fruit production, seed viability, seed germination, and female fertility of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ and two check cultivars in two replicated field trials in Florida. The check cultivars are ‘UF-T3’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 24,057) and ‘Pink Caprice’ (commercial cultivar, not patented).

Plants in the two trials were grown in ground beds in full sun in Balm (southwest Florida, USDA hardiness zone 9A and AHS heat zone 10) and in Ft. Pierce (southeast Florida, USDA hardiness zone 9B and AHS heat zone 9-10). The experimental design used in Balm was a randomized complete block with three blocks and two plants per plot. The experimental design used in Ft. Pierce was a randomized complete block, but with four blocks and a single plant per plot. ‘Pink Caprice’ is very prolific in fruit (and seed) production (Czarnecki, 2011; Czarnecki et al., 2012), while ‘UF-T3’ is highly infertile (Czarnecki et al., 2012).

Fruit production data were regularly collected from the field-grown plants in Balm and Ft. Pierce. The four harvests in Balm were made on August 17, September 14, October 16, and Nov. 18, 2015, respectively. The four harvests in Ft. Pierce were done on August 12, September 10, October 14, and Nov. 11, 2015, respectively. In each round of fruit harvesting, 20 peduncles were randomly sampled from each plant in the replicated field trials. Drupes on all harvested peduncles were counted, regardless of maturity. An analysis of variance and separation of mean fruit production values were was conducted using the statistics software JMP Pro 10.0.2 to compare the fruit production of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ with that of ‘UF-T3’ and ‘Pink Caprice’. Mean values with the same letter within columns in Table 1 are not significantly different by the Fisher's Least Significant Difference (LSD) procedure at P<0.05.

As shown in Table 1, ‘Pink Caprice’ produced the largest number of drupes among all the entries in the two replicated trials. Each peduncle bore an average of 7.941 drupes in Ft. Pierce and 10.313 drupes in Balm, with an overall average of 9.127 across the two sites and four harvests. The number of drupes sterile cultivar ‘UF-T3’ produced per peduncle ranged from 0 to 0.100 and averaged to 0.043 across two experimental sites and over 4 months. The number of drupes per peduncle for the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ ranged from 0 to 0.125 and averaged to 0.033 across the two sites and over the 4 months. This level of fruit production in the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ represents greater than 99% reduction from the fruit production of ‘Pink Caprice’.

Seeds were extracted from mature drupes collected from the above described experiments. Seeds were cleaned, air-dried, and germinated. Due to having few seeds for the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ and ‘UF-T3’, seeds from four harvests at each site were combined before germination. Seeds of ‘Pink Caprice’ were also sent to a commercial seed testing laboratory (Midwest Seed Services, Brookings, S. Dak.) for seed viability tests. The new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ and ‘UF-T3’ produced few or no seeds at either site and were not tested for viability.

As shown in Table 1, seeds of ‘Pink Caprice’ showed an average of 65.0% viability, germinated readily, with an average germination percentage of 45.0% in 60 days. For ‘UF-T3’, a total of seven and two seeds were collected from Balm and Ft. Pierce trials, respectively. One of the nine seeds germinated, resulting in an 11.1% germination. For the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’, there were only four seeds collected from plants at the Balm site and no seeds collected at the Ft. Pierce site. None of the four seeds germinated.

Fruit (seed) production per peduncle and seed germination are factored into a female fertility index (FFI) by multiplying fruit production per peduncle and seed germination. The FFI for ‘Pink Caprice’ and ‘UF-T3’ was 4.107, and 0.005, respectively. The FFI for the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ was zero.

Assessment of Pollen Stainability

Table 2 shows pollen stainability of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ and two check cultivars (‘UF-T3’ and ‘Pink Caprice’) when their plants were grown in Balm and Ft. Pierce, Fla. in full sun in 2015. Two pollen staining experiments were conducted. In Experiment 1, newly opened flowers were collected from plants grown in Balm, Fla. in late July 2015, and anthers were extracted from the flowers and collected into a 1.5-mL Eppendorf tube. The collected anthers were stained with 10⁻⁶ M fluorescein diacetate (FDA) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.) in 0.22 M sucrose at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour (Czarnecki et al., 2014). Stained anthers were transferred onto a microscope slide and covered with a coverslip. Pollen grains in the anthers were released by gently tapping and pressing the coverslip and then examined under a fluorescent microscope. Plump, round pollen grains fluorescing bright yellowish green light were considered stainable, while misshaped, non-fluorescing, or unevenly, lightly fluorescing pollen grains were counted as non-stainable. In Experiment 2, flowers were collected from lantana plants grown in Ft. Pierce, Fla. in mid-August 2015. Anther staining and pollen examination were performed as described in Experiment 1.

Pollen stainability data (in percentage) were arcsine-transformed before analysis of variance was performed. Means with the same letter within the column of Table 2 are not significantly different by the LSD procedure at P<0.05. The analysis of variance and mean separation were conducted using JMP Pro 12.0.1.

As shown in Table 2, the average pollen stainability of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ was 9.7%, close to the average pollen stainability of cultivar ‘UF-T3’. The average pollen stainability of ‘Pink Caprice’ was 73.1%, similar to previous results (Czarnecki et al., 2014). The pollen stainability (or male fertility) of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ was reduced substantially (86.7%) from that of ‘Pink Caprice’.

Assessment of Hybridization Potential with Lantana Depressa

Table 3 shows the hybridization potential of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’ with L. depressa as compared to ‘UF-T3’ and ‘Pink Caprice’.

Hand pollination experiments were performed in a greenhouse in Balm, Fla. in June and July 2015 to assess the hybridization potential of the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’, as a male or female parent, with L. depressa. ‘UF-T3’ and ‘Pink Caprice’ were included in the hand pollination experiments as an infertile and a fertile check, respectively. Stock plants of all Lantana cultivars and L. depressa were grown in 1-gallon plastic containers and arranged into three blocks. The experimental unit was two containerized plants. Temperatures inside the greenhouse ranged from 21° C. to 33° C. No supplemental lighting was provided. Plants were drip-irrigated twice a day. Fresh anthers were collected from mature unopened flowers of male parents and applied immediately to emasculated flowers of female parents. At maturity, fruit produced by the pollinated flowers were collected and counted, and seeds were extracted and germinated to determine seed germination percentages.

Fruit set data (in percentage) were arcsine-transformed before analysis of variance was performed in JMP Pro 12.0.1. Means with the same letter within the column are not significantly different by the LSD procedure at P<0.05.

As a male parent, ‘Pink Caprice’ caused an average of 8.6% fruit set on L. depressa. When pollinated with L. depressa, ‘Pink Caprice’ flowers showed 19.7% fruit set. Seeds from crosses between ‘Pink Caprice’ and L. depressa or vice versa showed 11.1% or 19.7% seedling emergence. ‘UF-T3’ caused 0.3% fruit set on L. depressa flowers and showed 0.8% fruit set after being pollinated with L. depressa. None of the seeds emerged as seedlings.

A total of 362 L. depressa flowers were pollinated with the new Lantana cultivar ‘UF-1011-2’, and one flower set one fruit, resulting in average fruit set of 0.2%. The fruit contained one seed, and it failed to germinate in the greenhouse. When the new cultivar was used as the female parent, it did not set fruit after having been pollinated with L. depressa. Therefore, the new cultivar did not hybridize or did not produce viable progeny with L. depressa when they were used as a male or a female parent in hand pollinations. These data also confirm the high level of male and female infertility in the new cultivar.
